How can I copy the manual that came with the printer to my hard disk?

1. Copy the entire CD that the manual came on to your hard disk. For example, for windows copy to c:\program files\canon\canon ipf5000 printer manual
2. Delete the subfolders for other languages and other printers (to save disk space)
3. Navigate to the folder you put the manual in, then to the subfolder Usermanuals\ipf5000.
4. Click on the file index_e.html, then right click on it and drag it to your desktop. After releasing the mouse button, choose "Create Shortcut Here".

Update 11/21/10: Canon USA now has PDF versions of the manual for all iPF printers except the iPF5000 available for download.
